Make Your Own Font With AI: A Beginner's Guide
Making a font used to require professional type-design tools. Today an AI font maker lets anyone create a custom font from their own letters. Here is what to expect.
You do not need design software
You do not need FontForge, Glyphs or any vector experience. If you can write letters and upload a photo, you can make a font. The AI handles the drawing, spacing and file generation.
What you get
A single generation produces a complete family of 14 styles - from ExtraLight to ExtraBold, each with an italic - covering 113 characters. That is a professional, usable typeface, not just a single novelty style.
You receive desktop formats (.otf, .ttf) and a web format (.woff2), plus a license that makes the font entirely yours.
How much it costs
Fontgarlic uses prepaid credits, no subscription. You only spend credits when a font is delivered successfully; failed attempts are free. You can make your first custom font for a few dollars.
